Lord Robert Skidelsky discusses the strategic vacuum, desperation and war propaganda in Europe. A key problem for Europe is that it is not a pole in the multipolar world, but a mere "hole". Skidelsky is a member of the British House of Lords, Professor Emeritus of Political Economy, and the author of a prize-winning three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes. He began his political career in the Labour Party, was a founding member of the Social Democratic Party, and served as the Conservative Party’s spokesman for Treasury affairs in the House of Lords until he was sacked for his opposition to NATO’s 1999 bombing of Kosovo. Since 2001, he has sat in the House of Lords as an independent.
